Pit to Presence: Jeremiah 38:6
Jeremiah 38:6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Jeremiah 38 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Jeremiah is taken to a dungeon courtyard, lowered into a mire where there is no water, and sinks there. This scene reflects outward confinement that mirrors inner limitation.
Neville's Inner Vision
Viewed through Neville’s inner-eye, the pit is not merely a prison of stone but a state of consciousness. The dungeon, the court, and the cords are symbols of identified beliefs that bind your awareness. The mire represents a dense, muddy sense of limitation you have accepted as real. When Jeremiah sinks, you are invited to notice how your attention adheres to a story of incapacity. Yet the I AM—your eternal awareness—never leaves its throne. The narrative asks you to revise the scene from inside, to awaken the sense that you are not defined by the pit but by the I AM who can illuminate it. In this light, confinement becomes the proving ground in which imagination is tested and refined. The prophecy here is not about a future escape but about the present turn: by shifting your inner state, you alter the outer appearance. The moment you claim sovereignty in awareness, the mire loses its grip and becomes a surface for stepping into clearer being.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Close your eyes and revise the scene by declaring, 'I am the I AM, and this pit is my mind under my reign.' Sit with that feeling until your sense of freedom replaces the mire.
